TOO FULL FOR UTTERANCE.

The city clerk reports that the number OF
real estate agents who have called at the
Office to inquire about the late license law
concerning them are many, but as yet not a
single dollar has been received. They come
in to inquire who was meant in the ordi-
nance and who was not meant. Each one
seems 70 think that in their daily career
there is something that will sxhonorate them
and place them safely out Of the reach Of tho
ordinance. Each man is filed up even to
his eyes with data that are adroitly brought
in to make up chain that in the mind Of
the anxious one gees 10 make up peculiar
set of circumstances for giving the city the
black eye.
The clerk finally tolls them that if they
want license by paying for it they can
have it, but as 10 sizing up each man and
see if his sar marks correspond with descrip-
ton he objects, aad inSinatss that proba-
bly, brief interview with the city attorney
would prove profitable.
Tho ordinance has bssn published and is
supposed to be i'll effect.

sEvENTY-FIvE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Sells and Crawl ford Accept the Site offered ty
Mr.. Daisey for Opera House, and
Deeds and Bonds Were riIed Yes
terday-An now Ready for
the Next Season.

Mr. O. c. Daisey deserves much credit for
his faithful work in securing for Wichita
one of the finest opera houses in the west.
Mr.. Daisey began working this scheme
some ninety days ago, and secured a loca-
ton satisfactory to the Opera House conlpa-
ny on the corner Of Williams street and
Topeka avenue. He had some difficulty IN
fixing the title, and day before yesterday had
Mir John Motif, president of the Kansas
Furniture company. who held the papers In
error, to write Messrs Sells 6 Crawford to
come down and close the deal Mr. Motif
received telegram stating that they would
be here yesterday morning. Fir. Davis and
Mr. Levy closed the deal by Messrs. Sells
Bros & Crawford giving Ar. Levy bond
for $500o0 guaranteeing the erection OF an
opera house 10 cost not less than s75,oOo, and
to be completed before September 1st, 1887.
The bond was signed to r. I. Bonebrake.
president OF tha Central National bank OF
Topeka, and John r. Afulyane, president OF
the Topeka State bank It can be well said
for Mr. Daisey that he never took hold Of
anything he did not put through. He gave
personally $1,000 TO this scheme. How IS
that fer one citizen.
At last the scheme develops into fact.
At an early date bids for building viii be re-
ceived. 1t is desired to have the contract
awarded and work to commence within thir-
ty days. The excavatins and foundation
completed is the task assigned to be accom-
piished by early spring.

THE FATHEI; OF WICHITA AND HIS NEW
HOME.

Hon. William Greitfenstein, the father OF
our city, ard who, with the editor Of the
EAGLE. laid awake nights revolving what
next thing should be done to keep up the
boom. and who was tins and again elected
mayor, as well as representative to the legls-
lature, man known to every man, woman
and child of the early days as broad, com
prehensive spirit and generous to fault, is
wished happy New Years. ''Uncle Bill"
as all the older settlers feel privileged to call
him. has lately taken possession Of his new
home in the northern suburbs of the city,
which is modern palace, surrounded by a
whole village of outbuildings, of harEcaioas
design with his home, and around about on
three sides of ali of which the Little river
with its fringe of timber gracefully sweeps.
The outside of that new home all have seen
and admired, but the inside surpasSes our
powers OF description, both as to finish and
furnishings. No expense seems to have been
spared in either direction. The softest and
most yielding of Wilton and Administer
carpets, the richest and warmest hangings,
the most splendid marble mantles, the rarest
brica- brac and fine paintings, and a side
board gorgeous and ample enough for
king. And the editor of the EAGLE is not
the only one who wishes the deserving
owner of all this happy New Year. There
are thousands in this city who will join with
us in wishing tho father of the Peerless
Princess Of the Plains, of the Progressive
and Prosperous Pride of the Prairies, he and
all OF his household, not only happy New
Years, but mrny returns Of the same.

NEW YEAR BELLS.

New Year Bells of eighty-six
What did you ring in!
Much of pleasure, and of JOY,
More Of grief and sin.
Since you rang'in joyous strains
On that New Years day,
Many loved and noble souls,
Have been called away,
Leaders of the world of thought,
Dropped the busy pen;
Called away forever more
From the walks of men.
But the world will not forget
What her heroes wrought;
All the labor and the strife
Shall not be for naught.
From the humble ranks of life
Many souls have passed
To the destiny that death
Brings to all at last.
And for each some loving heart
Weeps beside the bier;
All, what anguish dire can ba
Garnered IL one year.
New Year Bells OF eighty-seven
Wha7 viii you ring IN!
Much OF pleasure, and OF joy,
More Of grief and sin.
